teeter totter
This little gal’s name is sacred in the Cooper house. My girls absolutely ADORE (more like worship) her. And rightly so. She is beautiful both inside and out and her mommy is one of my most favorite people! Miss A is on the cusp of those crazy tween years and her mom wanted to document her little-girl/big-girl look before she teeters too far on the fence towards “all grown up”. We decided to try to re-create THIS PHOTO SESSION that I did with my own little one and then turned into THIS STORYBOARD for her bedroom. So we hopped on down to one of my favorite spots and caught some beautiful light! We cut it short when I came 2 inches from stepping on a gigantic snake…but I’m pretty sure we got more than enough images to fill her bedroom walls!
I showed them this image in camera as soon as I took it! I NEVER do that…too risky…but she was so stinkin’ adorable (and her mommy is such a good friend) that I went ahead and gave them the sneak peak anyways 
And OH the LIGHT!!!! This was moments before the snake mishap. Kind of makes me shudder 
I wanted to get a different angle and stepped into the brush just to my right…good thing I was looking as I put my foot down! I love the softness of this image…just like a memory.
More pretty light At this point I could barely get Miss A to stand in the grass…I tried so hard not to spook her about the giant snake…but I think I jumped about 20 feet in the air!
Then the girls met up with the guys at our house for some barbeque. We ate, watched 3 or 4 shows that the kids decided to put on for us…and talked into the night. But before the rest of the festivities we snapped a few more images in our backyard. I had forgotten HOW GREEN fresh new grass looks! I didn’t touch up the color on these next images at all…reminds me to thank our lawn company
Miss A…I can’t wait to watch you grow into a beautiful young lady. You are well on your way, sweet friend.
Gorgeous and such inspiration for my oldest 10 year old birthday this weekend. I wanted to practice on her and love the last pic. I would have freaked at the snake. I think photographers should list boots as part of their gear. Maybe that will be my excuse for this suburban housewife to finally get my dream cowboy boots!
Absolutely gorgeous, especially the “sneak peek” shot & the one in the fresh grass. You are SO talented, Jenn, and what a sweet little subject you had for this session. Thanks for sharing!
Wow! These are gorgeous! How do you get that catch light in the eyes all the time without getting squinting eyes? Just amazing photographs. I’m sure her mother will cherish these of her beautiful little girl.
You simply amaze me….nothing more…nothing less.
Allie was grinning ear to ear when I showed her your post!! These pictures continue to tweak at my heart every time I see them. I have a feeling they will probably do that forever. Thank you isn’t enough…..you AMAZE me!
quite a princess, and you caught it well. aahhh the ringlets, I had those from age 3 to 12.
she is beautiful … and that is about the best tutu/pettiskirt I have ever seen! LOVE!
